There are also the Championship Hall Signatures for Hall of Fame members and Gold Medal Autographs featuring Olympic stars with 14-karat gold discs. More choices include Opulent Autographs and Gold Records Signatures.

2017-18 Panini Opulence Basketball Booklets

Seemingly getting away from the gold-heavy primary design, the 2017-18 Panini Opulence Basketball book cards pile on the quality elements. The Rookie Patch Autographs Booklet set contains a massive jersey piece for the top first-year players. Offering championship gear, NBA Finals Booklet showcases swatches from the jerseys worn in Game 2 of the 2017 NBA Finals between the Warriors and the Cavs, including the NBA Logoman for Kevin Durant.

Another high end release that’s out of my comfort zone in what I am willing to pay for sports cards. Look the cards look great but this is a really late release date. Were already coming up on the 2018-19 season and the Hoops set will be in a month.
